Looking for serving spoons - any help, please?

After x years of wedded bliss, I find I'm still using the inadequate serving spoons we first had as a wedding present.

They just don't scoop up enough!

I need something which looks like your average, stainless steel serving spoon but has a larger bowl, without becoming a ladle! My researches on ebay etc have got me nowhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Poundshops. I got a pair of serving spoons in a nice box from the 99p store (some while ago).

If not that, then John Lewis? M&S?

There are lots of large serving spoons listed on Ebay, including this one.

For some unbeknown reason we still get Nisbets catering catalogue delivered to the house from when I used to work in a restaurant. Admittedly I buy stuff for the house from there. Also can't fault IKEA - if you've one close by.

Just coming back to this. What I mean is not kitchen serving spoons like the ones here which often form part of a long-handled set along with ladle, spatula etc.

What I mean is dining table serving spoons... which often come as part of dining table flatware... but which, as with mine, are also often totally inadequate for the task of serving from serving vessels to plate.

Any last thoughts, folks?

oh right 'Tableware' serving spoons as opposed to 'kitchen' spoons. Hmmmm, you know I cant say I know of any which are larger than a standard Tablespoon. except for old Victorian or Regency silver serving spoons. There must be SOME out there! where would posh people get them from for the butler to serve their meals otherwise?
